Chapter 126: Actual Combat Exercise (12)

Yan Mingcheng returned to the command post, and when he saw Zhao Zhongyao like an outsider, just sitting on the marching bed, leaning on the quilt and reading the newspaper, he was a little angry.

"Yo! Commander Yan, what's wrong with you, I'm not your soldier, what's the matter, what's the matter with making you so angry! Could it be that something is wrong with my equipment, and the engine of that armored car is malfunctioning!"

Zhao Zhongyao saw that Yan Mingcheng's face was unhappy and angry with himself, so he asked a little nervously, and thought that there must be something wrong with the equipment he developed! Otherwise, why would Yan Mingcheng be angry with himself!

"Zhongyao! I'm sorry, it's not your equipment that's wrong, it's the bunker we just built that suddenly collapsed five or six! Fortunately, Yu Mingjun, let the soldiers come out of the bunker to rest! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Yan Mingcheng saw Zhao Zhongyao questioning him like this, and he immediately realized that he was in a hurry, a little excessive, and he didn't look at who Zhao Zhongyao was, so he was angry at others!

"Oh! It's a problem with the bunker! How can this be? You've become a division commander, and it's not the first time you've done such a thing as building a bunker! How could it collapse! Don't you even know what's going on!" Zhao Zhongyao asked Yan Mingcheng puzzled.

"I've done this kind of thing many times, but it's the first time I've encountered such a situation! I've never seen it before!" When Yan Mingcheng was the regiment commander before, he also participated in the study and live-fire shooting at this shooting range, and he also built bunkers many times, but there was never a collapse! And it wasn't one, but five or six of them together, which made him a little nerve-wracking!

"Since it's the first time you've encountered it, it's the first time I've heard of it, why, even you don't know what to do, do you want to ask me for advice!" Zhao Zhongyao thought, Yan Mingcheng was used to it, and when he encountered a problem, he wanted to ask him for advice!

"Zhongyao, I know that you are not only a military expert, but also know more about all aspects. Look, can you help me, should I continue to build bunkers here!

Yan Mingcheng looked at Zhao Zhongyao and put another problem in front of Zhao Zhongyao.

"Senior Commander Yan, aren't you embarrassed for me! I'm just a physicist and an engine expert, if you ask me about building fortifications and digging bunkers, can I tell if I'm ugly! You have been a soldier for 20 years, you don't understand, what else can I understand!"

Zhao Zhongyao felt that Yan Mingcheng was a little difficult for a strong man, and this matter did not seem to be his Zhao Zhongyao's business, and he came to the army to 'take care' of the equipment he developed, not to deal with the bunker collapse accident.

"Zhongyao, if I beg you, you can help me! I know, you are a genius, an all-rounder, you know astronomy, you know geography!"

Yan Mingcheng saw that Zhao Zhongyao was unwilling to help him, so he was cheeky and came to intercede with Zhao Zhongyao!

"Geography ------"

Zhao Zhongyao heard Yan Mingcheng say the word 'geography', and he suddenly seemed to realize something, and he couldn't help but repeat it.

"Okay then! Senior Commander Yan, let's go to the scene of the accident together!" Zhao Zhongyao saw that the 'master master' pleaded with him! He was embarrassed to sit down anymore.

"Thank you, Director Zhao!" Yan Mingcheng saw that Zhao Zhongyao had agreed to help him, and he finally showed a smile again.

Zhao Zhongyao, Yan Mingcheng and Chief of Staff Yang came out of the command post together.

"Master Yan, have you asked the soldiers to stop work temporarily! Don't let them dig bunkers again. Zhao Zhongyao suddenly thought of this dangerous thing, and immediately asked Yan Mingcheng.

"Don't worry, Zhongyao, I've ordered the soldiers to stand by. Yan Mingcheng said to Zhao Zhongyao with a smile.

"Well, okay!" Zhao Zhongyao was also temporarily relieved.

Together, the three of them soon came to the place where the accident happened.

Standing in front of these collapsed bunkers, Zhao Zhongyao was also a little afraid! I thought, this is also because Yu Mingjun has experience and let the soldiers rest in time. Otherwise, it would really be unimaginable! Five or six bunkers have all collapsed, and it looks like an earthquake! It's also a little shocking!

As soon as the soldiers saw that the division commander had brought a young man wearing a school uniform to the accident site, they all looked at Zhao Zhongyao curiously, and wondered in their hearts, they didn't understand how there were still local personnel on their position, and they were still college students!

Zhao Zhongyao ignored the curious gaze of the soldiers, he just stood next to the bunker and squatted down, grabbed a handful of the red soil dug out from it, put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it, then pinched a little and put it in his mouth.

"Ah, what is he doing --- him?"

Zhao Zhongyao's strange behavior made the eyes of everyone present widen in surprise.

"The soil is not acidic enough, contains less iron and aluminum, is not sticky enough, and has a large water content, how can it not collapse to excavate a bunker in such a place!"

After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to a soldier beside him. The warrior reacted quite quickly, and he knew what Zhao Zhongyao was going to do, so he quickly took off the kettle he was carrying and put it in Zhao Zhongyao's hand.

Zhao Zhongyao unscrewed the lid, took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth twice, and returned the kettle to the warrior.

"Zhongyao, in this way, our position is not suitable for digging bunkers at all!" Yan Mingcheng looked at Zhao Zhongyao with some nervousness.

"That's right, this place is not suitable for digging bunkers, and if we dig any more, more bunkers will collapse!"

"What can we do then, do we have to find another position!" Yan Mingcheng cried and was very depressed. You know, they've been delayed for a day. If you look for a new position, you may lose to your opponent in terms of speed.

"It has to be so, for the safety of the fighters and for the smooth conduct of the actual combat exercises, you have to find another position. Zhao Zhongyao knew that such a soil would definitely not be just this one, but the entire position.

In order to build a strong position, it was necessary to choose another site.

"Zhongyao, why can't this place! What is the reason for this!" Yan Mingcheng still didn't quite understand.

"Master Yan, you see, this is a low-lying area, and the water content has been too high for a long time, which has led to the weakening of the acidity in the laterite. The cohesive substances in laterite, mainly silica and alumina. If the water content is too high, the acidity is weakened, so that the cohesive material in the laterite is relatively reduced, so the strength of the laterite is also reduced.
